Siheyuan: Starting from the Pig Killer

Chapter 196 Canton Fair

"Tu Tu Tu!"

The sound of the motorcycle engine came from far to near, and finally stopped at the gate of Yangguang.

"Xiao Xiang, I'm here to pick up your wife again!"

The guard saw Xiang Yunduan coming down from the three-legged carriage and greeted him warmly.

"Hey, Uncle Zhang, come and smoke!" Xiang Yunduan said, taking out a cigarette case with less than half a pack left in it and handing it over.

After Tao Xiaoye was transferred here, he came here often and became very familiar with the guard. Of course, this was also related to his status as a police officer. If it were anyone else, the guard Zhang would not be so easy to talk to.

The janitors of today should not be underestimated. They are different from the janitors of later generations. They are very vigilant and their ability to judge people is no worse than that of old criminal policemen. Some are even better than those from the security department.

"By the way, Xiaoxiang, when can you and Xiaotao get your wedding candies? I'm waiting for you!" Uncle Zhang lit up his cigarette, took a nice puff, and asked again.

"It's October, it's only a few days away. I'll go get the certificate in two days on the weekend. Then I'll bring you the wedding candy and give it to me first!" Xiang Yunduan said.

"What's the surprise?" Tao Xiaoye asked curiously, reaching out to touch the dog's head of the street lamp.

"Uncle and aunt, you get off work very early!"

The shoes were just bought a few days ago in a department store. When Xiang Yunduan and Tao Xiaoye were shopping, they were shocked when they saw that these canvas shoes, which looked like later generations, turned out to be the Jai Alai brand. For a moment, he thought someone I traveled through time like him, and later I found out that the Huili brand had been around since the 1920s, and they not only produced rubber shoes, but also tires.

"Hey, why did you bring the dog out of the unit?"

More than two months have passed since the last time the two families met. Now that the wedding day is coming soon, Xiang Yunduan is also planning to go to his mother-in-law's house today to discuss specific matters.

Tao Xiaoye's hair was neither long nor short, probably hanging just above the earrings. At this moment, when he was coming down the stairs in front of the building, a breeze suddenly blew by, and his black and smooth hair floated in the wind, coupled with the light falling from the west sky. The orange sunset, at this moment, in Xiang Yunduan's eyes, was like a beautiful painting.

After chatting with Lao Zhangtou for a while, Tao Xiaoye's figure walked out of the broadcasting building not far away.

After more than two months of training, Street Lamp has basically acquired the skills of a guide dog. Next, Xiang Yunduan is going to send it to Grandpa Tao Xiaoye to exercise it again and see the effect. After all, training is training. , we still have to see what the actual situation is.

However, Xiang Yunduan has a golden finger after all. After Street Lamp was strengthened by luck, he became very smart, and his learning efficiency was too strong.

"Street Lamp is not an ordinary dog. This is a surprise I prepared for my family!" Xiang Yunduan said with a smile.

Such fashionable clothing might still attract attention if placed in other places, but here in Yangguang, there are many people wearing fashionable clothing, especially some young lesbians.

When it comes to dressing up, Tao Xiao is not out of the ordinary, but when it comes to appearance, she is too out of the ordinary.

Tao Xiaoye used to be very afraid of dogs, especially big dogs, but after Xiang Yunduan let her interact with Huzi a few times, that fear disappeared.

Tao Xiao also saw Xiang Yunduan, with a cheerful smile on his face. He handed his satchel to Xiang Yunduan, and then sat on the back seat of the motorcycle. However, as soon as he got closer, he found that there was another dog squatting in the side of the motorcycle. Big yellow dog.

"A surprise is a surprise, let's talk about it when we get home!"

When they got home, Tao Xingwei and Mei Zhihua had already returned. Tao Xiaomin was addicted to work and only came home on time very rarely. Sometimes he even slept in the factory. He was not married anyway, so he didn't have to worry about his family.

Hu Zi is a bitch who is extremely smart. When faced with Tao Xiaoye as the hostess, he tries to please her without any dignity. Sometimes he is even more obedient than when he is facing Xiang Yunduan.

Tao Xiaoye was wearing a suspender skirt today, a pink floral shirt on the upper body, and a pair of high-top canvas shoes from the Jai Alai brand that looked no different from those of later generations.

However, Xiang Yunduan failed, causing Tao Xiaoye to stretch out his green fingers and twist his waist several times.

As for Tao Minzhen, I guess we have to wait a while. Because of the relationship between "Wanjiang" and "Youth Aspirations Don't Tell Me", Tao Minzhen has been officially promoted to the title of associate professor. This period happens to be the beginning of the new semester, and Tao Minzhen has also been appointed by the school. With such a heavy responsibility, I have to take charge of my job all by myself, so it is relatively late to get off work during this period.

Logically speaking, the training of this guide dog is a very troublesome matter. It will definitely not have much effect in more than two months. What's more, when Street Lamp starts training, it is already an adult dog, and its personality and behavior have been fixed. The training effect Even more discounts.

After the release of "Young Aspirations Don't Say Sorrows", it has been spotted by the public security department, and they are discussing whether to select it as a police song.

Especially after knowing that this song was written specifically for Comrade Ye Xiaofeng by Xiang Yunduan, I became even more inclined to do so.

The pen name "Xiang Tiange" has basically been exposed now, but it is not a big deal to Xiang Yunduan. During the last U2 incident, the security department had already investigated him. There is no doubt about this.

But even if someone finds out about this, it's not a big deal. At most, he is just a person with some musical talent. In addition, his aunt is a serious student of music, and the two of them wrote some songs together. It's also a normal thing.

"What's going on with this dog?" Tao Xingwei asked with some confusion when he saw the street light coming out of the carriage.

"Uncle, that's what happened. This dog's name is Street Lamp, and it's a guide dog I specially trained!" Xiang Yunduan said.

"Guide dog?" Tao Xingwei was a little surprised. Although it was the first time he heard this word, the meaning was simple and straightforward, and he didn't need much explanation to understand what it meant.

"Yes, the last time I met Grandpa Xiaoye, Xiaoye told me that Grandpa's eyes were basically invisible. At that time, I was thinking about whether I could train a dog to help those who are blind in life. , after training during this period, I feel that the effect is still very good, so I brought the street lamp here today just to give it to Grandpa Xiaoye so that the old man can try it first!

Moreover, regardless of whether the street lights can guide the blind, it is definitely no problem to be a pet dog. Being with the elderly can also relieve emotions! Xiang Yunduan said.

"Ah? Can the street lamp still take care of grandpa's life? Is this the surprise you told me about before?" Tao Xiaoye said with some surprise.

"Brother Yun, thank you!"

Before Xiang Yunduan could react, Tao Xiaoye jumped directly into his arms, held his head high, stood on tiptoes, and kissed him with a "pop" sound.

Tao Xiaoye had never taken the initiative before. Speaking of it, when the two of them were alone together, Tao Xiaoye took the initiative as often as Xiang Yunduan, but that was when there was no one else around.

But what is happening now?
Lao Taishan is sitting next to him!
"Is it possible that the last time we kissed, my mother-in-law discovered it once, so Xiaoye doesn't care anymore?" Xiang Yunduan thought secretly in his heart.

This time, he didn't dare to act rashly. He didn't dare to stick out his tongue. After all, Lao Taishan was watching. It would be too shameful to ignore it. In this case, Tao Xiao also took the initiative, and Lao Taishan was probably more relieved. After all, from this scene, it was clear that the young couple had a good relationship, and it was as if the honey was mixed with oil.

But if Xiang Yunduan takes the initiative, the situation will be different. If Lao Taishan gets angry, it will be bad.

A manly man, he still has this bit of determination.

"Uh, um...ahem..."

Next to him, seeing that the two hadn't separated for a long time, Tao Xingwei coughed heavily, then picked up the teacup next to him and knocked on it.

"I'm going to see how mom's cooking is going!"

Tao Xiao was also awakened by the crisp sound of the tea cup, and then realized that his father was still beside him. His little face turned red in a flash, and before he finished speaking, he had disappeared out the door.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, but Lao Taishan was a leader after all, and he was very experienced in dealing with this kind of atmosphere. He changed the subject directly and asked: "Xiao Xiang, this road... street lights, right? Can a guide dog like you... What if we can’t do mass training?”

"Training is possible, but it's more troublesome. Street Lamp can be trained so quickly. That's because he has outstanding talent. It's not easy for other dogs to reach this level. What? Uncle, do you want so many guide dogs? ?" Xiang Yunduan asked with some confusion.

Although there are many blind people nowadays, and there are naturally many people who need guide dogs like Grandpa Tao Xiaoye, there is no need for Tao Xingwei to worry about this, right?
"As for work, after I heard you talk about this guide dog, I suddenly thought that if this kind of dog can be cultivated on a large scale, maybe it can participate in the Canton Fair, and maybe some can be exported by then, although it may not make much money. Foreign exchange, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat!" Tao Xingwei said with emotion.

"Canton Fair?" Xiang Yunduan suddenly heard a familiar word and was stunned for a moment.

"This Canton Fair is for us..."

Tao Xingwei thought Xiang Yunduan didn't know what the Canton Fair was, so he explained it smoothly.

Little did he know that Xiang Yunduan was no stranger to the Canton Fair.

In 1949, the "Batum Committee" was established, which purposefully restricted the flow of certain things, technologies, equipment, etc. to some countries. Of course, our country was also on the list.

Of course, there are definitely ways to buy things, but it requires a lot of foreign exchange.

In order to obtain foreign exchange and then use it to purchase some technologies, equipment, etc. that we need very much, the country has gone to great lengths.

The Canton Fair was established under this background and is a window to showcase domestic products to the outside world.

At that time, information was not as developed as in later generations. It was difficult for foreign businessmen to know what special products we had that they needed, and we ourselves did not know what prices could be sold.

Therefore, every time at the Canton Fair, various specialties will be presented to try to win the favor of foreign businessmen and then reach an export agreement.

The Canton Fair is held twice a year in spring and autumn. Now at this time, the official autumn fair is held.

Lao Taishan was transferred from below and worked in the foreign trade department. It seems that he has gradually started to get into shape.

"Uncle, guide dogs will definitely not work. This will take a lot of time and energy. However, can we consider police dogs?" Xiang Yunduan said.

"Police dogs? Our main export targets are Eastern European countries. Even if we need police dogs, we will probably import police dogs from East Germany. How can we possibly need ours? And I heard that foreign police dog technology is much better than ours!" Tao Xingwei said.

Since learning about Xiang Yunduan's work, Tao Xingwei, as his prospective father-in-law, has also learned some knowledge about police dogs.

"Too!"

Xiang Yunduan nodded, and then said: "If it doesn't work now, it doesn't mean it won't work in the future. After I develop a real police dog breed, it should be able to be exported."

"Well, I have also heard about your work. Now it seems that you are working hard to breed a brand new dog breed, right? Looking at you, you are confident that you can breed a police dog that is better than a German shepherd. Dog breed?" Tao Xingwei said.

"There is a high probability that it can be done, I am very confident!" Xiang Yunduan said, with a golden finger in hand, if he still can't find a better police dog breed than the German Shepherd, then he should go home and plant sweet potatoes.

"It's a good thing for young people to have confidence, but they still have to be down-to-earth when doing work, but they must not be blindly arrogant!" Tao Xingwei encouraged.

After chatting with Lao Taishan for a while, the meal was finally ready. At this time, Tao Minzhen also went home.

"Tian Ge, I also said that I would come to see you in the next two days. It just so happens that you came here today, which saves me the trouble of making another trip!"

At the dinner table, Tao Minzhen talked to Xiang Yunduan while eating.

"Sister, what do you want from me?" Xiang Yunduan asked.

"Isn't it National Day soon? This year is the tenth anniversary celebration. Our school wants to collect some songs that fit the holiday atmosphere. I want to ask you if you have any ideas?" Tao Minzhen asked.

"This is what happened!"

Xiang Yunduan paused for a moment, and then said: "It's time to compose some songs to celebrate. Let me think about it. You should have said this earlier. It's National Day in a few days, so there's no time!" "

He hasn't decided yet what song to copy this time.

After eating, Xiang Yunduan took Tao Xiaoye and Street Deng to go to Tao Xiaoye's grandfather's house.

Grandpa Tao Xiaoye is an intellectual. Although he is not as famous as the most famous ones during the Republic of China, he also taught at Peking University. Naturally, he is not short of money. He bought a courtyard house before liberation, and now the old man and the old lady live in it.

After arriving at the place and knowing the purpose of Xiang Yunduan and Tao Xiaoye's visit, the old couple were naturally very happy. Although they didn't think a dog could have such a big effect, it was their granddaughter and grandson-in-law's wishes after all. Besides, Just keeping it as a pet dog can relieve boredom.

"Let the street lamp get used to it at home first. I will come over after get off work these days and slowly tell you some ways to communicate with the street lamp. After a while, when you get used to it, it will be no problem to take you for a walk in the alley!" Xiang Yun Duan warned.
